Impact Sports

Parents and kids, welcome to IMPACT SPORTS! IMPACT SPORTS is a sports league and ministry for children (grades K-6th) with the goal of providing a fun, safe, and encouraging sports experience. There is something unique about IMPACT SPORTS. Thomas Road’s Sports ministry also has the goal of seeing kids connect to Jesus Christ through lessons they learn in our program. The child’s experience of being on a team, having a coach mentor, and receiving the encouragement of parents provide a platform for competitive fun and development.

This is when sports truly makes an IMPACT.

1 Timothy 4:8 (NIV) For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

Early Bird registration for IMPACT Sports fall sports is OPEN until July 31 – REGISTER EARLY TO SAVE $10.00.

IMPACT Sports League Information

League Goals and Values

FOR ALL KIDS– Kids in Kindergarten (K5) up to 6th grade are included in all 3 of our seasons.

SAFE – All coaches and volunteers are screened and background checked. Games are refereed and structured so that child safety is priority one.

EQUAL PLAY!– In Impact Sports, every child plays and is given an equal opportunity in all areas of the sport they participate in. We believe these are formative years to learn a new sport, teamwork, and self-confidence. IMPACT Sports desires every child to walk away having fun and growing through their sports experience.

FAMILY FRIENDLY!– Brothers and sisters are put on the same team at request to keep things easy for the parents. Also, all of our programs are run at TRBC facilities and fields.

CHRIST DRIVEN!– In all that we do, we believe Jesus Christ should be first. In IMPACT Sports, our coaches desire to see your child grow physically and spiritually. For that reason, our coaches present devotions, which teach kids to play sports in a Christ-honoring manner.

IMPACT Sports is made possible because of the dedicated men and women that invest in our children by being a coach. All coaches and volunteers are screened and background checked. Games are refereed and structured so that child safety is priority one.

In all that we do, we believe Jesus Christ should be first. In IMPACT SPORTS, our coaches desire to see your child grow physically and spiritually. For that reason, our coaches make an impact in the Next Generation by coaching, mentoring, and sharing Christ with their players. We have found that our coaches make life-long impacts in the lives of kids through being a coach. In fact it is because of our coach’s impact, that we call our kids sports ministry, “IMPACT Sports.”
